Application iled March 1'7I 1900. Serial No. 9,044. (No model.)

To LM whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, IVAN C. WALKER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Indianola, in the county of Warren and State of Iowa, have invented a new and useful Hog- Gnard Grate, of which the following is a speci` ication.

The object of my invention is to provide a gate by means of which hogs may be detained in one inclosure,while cattle are or may be permitted to pass from thatinclosure to another through said gate. I attain this object by the device illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which- A is a ditch about eighteen inches deep, eighteen inches wide, and extending a short distance beyond the gate-posts e e and placed as near as may be to the gateway.

B B represent a row of posts situated about six inches from the ditch, said posts being six inches apart and eighteen inches in height.

C C represent a row of posts six inches in the rear of posts b I), said posts being placed 'opposite the spaces between the posts b b and being twelve inches high.

The combination, in a hog-guard gate, of

a ditch on one side of a gateway, and two rows of posts on the other side of said gateway, placed substantially as hereinbefore set forth, with an ordinary gate for the upper half of the gateway, all substantially as herein set forth.

I. C. WALKER.
